Hey, so i'm going to be running an i7-4790k on the maximus VII hero motherboard and i was looking for a case for it. At the moment i can get a case shipped to me, and my first option was the NZXT Kraken x61 for cooling, at 159 and 18 dollars of shipping its essentially equal in price to buying a Thermaltake 3.0 Water ultimate, which is a 360mm radiator setup. (it is 2 dollars more expensive, no shippign required)
i'd love to just be able to get rid of shipping altogether, but that limits my case options, the major contender in the cases available locally is a HAF X 942. I dont want to have to make modifications to the actual case, and i was wondering if the 360mm radiator would fit inside it without modifications.
If not - would it fit inside a phantom 630? The only cases that are available are the Carbide 540 (I dont know if this fits the g1 gaming GTX 970s, let alone a 360mm rad), the Core V71 from thermaltake, the HAF-X, and the Corsair 750D. to go to the phantom 630 or other cases outside of those ones means i have to get it shipped which adds to the cost, while at this point i'm a single part (the case) away from being able to simply buy the whole system in a single store by ordering from MSY and picking it all up myself.
I quite like the look of the HAF-X, but i'm incredibly on the fence about all the case options, many look great and cool very well so i'm interested to hear your opinion on which the Water 3.0 will fit, as it benchmarks very well from what i've seen (benefit of the larger radiator i guess)
